Default Loading of Control Surfaces?

Is there a formula that will tell how much force is being put on a control surface?
I assume that it takes into account sq area, velocity, angular deflection, and in some way the airfoil or lack of that it is attached to.
The reason I am asking has to do with picking the proper servos for control.
What has enough torque and and is not over kill?
Thanks
